To the Editor:

Watch your language

The is Pascal Blase Bulcher speaking on the subject of swearing.

All of you that are reading this know full well what swearing is and how huge of a number of people swear on a day-to-day basis. But here are a couple of things you probably don’t know...

Did you know that the United States has the largest percentage of population that swears on a day-to-day basis? Did you furthermore know that people in the United States actually swear online more than any other country? How bizarre is that?

This all proves that the modern day American has on average a very low I.Q. and a great lack of self-control.

Did you know that there are over 600,000 words in the English language? That’s more than any other language!

Why then are you always resorting to just a mere handful of swear words when you’re angry, frustrated, surprised or even happy?

If you would take some initiative and stop swearing for awhile and instead open up a dictionary to try and find a word better suited for the situation you would not only come across as a more intelligent person, you would actually “be” more intelligent.

But since I’m confident no one reading this article has enough desire to change, to go find a dictionary, I’ll give you some word ideas now, then you may be intrigued enough to go find a dictionary and actually broaden your vocabulary.

Instead of saying someone did a $?#*! job of something you could tell them that they are on the cusp of exactitude.

Instead of saying someone scared the #!?* out of you, you could say that they nearly expunged tranquility from your entire cranium.

I would actually challenge any of you who swear often to stop for just one week. It would not only increase your self-control, intelligence, and vocabulary a large amount, it would also get you a lot closer to Heaven.

Sincerely,

Pascal Blase Bulcher
